Hosea 10:5-15

Israel mourns because their object of worship, a calf-idol, was stolen from them and taken to Assyria.  Destruction is going to come upon Israel because of their refusal to repent.  They are going to face the consequences for their sin.  If they had repented, life would have been different but since they did not they would face battle, the destruction of their fortresses, and the death of their king.
